My Worst Nightmare: Fanatics Agrees to Buy Majestic

The Majestic brand that has become synonymous with Major League Baseball uniforms -- and which has a manufacturing plant in the Lehigh Valley -- has been sold.

Majestic owner VF Corp. announced Tuesday that it has an agreement to sell its Licensed Sports Group, including Majestic, to Fanatics Inc.

I can't take this anymore. I am just going to have to buy my jerseys from the Mets team store in person so I know I can get them on time. I don't like to admit to losing at all, but I have lost this battle and possibly my own personal war against Fanatics. Maybe the good folks at Majestic will rub off on the folks at Fanatics and they can do a better job.
